WILDCAT 1967-1968 Hector High School Hector, Arkansas Volume XVIII 1968 WILDCA T DEDICA TED TO E. W. “BOB TRIPP Because Mr. Tripp has been a devoted teacher and a ready helper for forty-one faithful years, we gratefully and humbly dedi- cate our 1968 WILDCAT to him. In so doing, we hope to express in a small way our ap- preciation to him for his relentless efforts to make our school the success that it is toda y. Mr. Tripp passed the teacher's exami- nation and became a teacher when only sixteen years old. He first taught at Snowlick, then four years at Hector. He has been a coach in Russellville, Beardon, and in Chicot County where he also was the Superintendent. He served as Superintendent of the Casa Schools for four years and then was a Principal in Eudora before coming back to Hector as Elementary Principal in 1959, a position he still holds.

This has been the cry of the Hector High School Annual Staff as we have prepared the layout and copy for our 1968 WILDCAT. We hope that we have accomplished this goal and that each student can proudly say that this year's annual is the best yet. Our yearbook goes to press early in February, therefore, the first section of this year’s book includes some of the highlights of the late winter and the spring of 1967 as well as other highlights completing a twelve - month coverage of school events. The following page in color shows all the students in the Hector School system who did not miss a day of school during the 1966 - 67 term.

With only two returning lettermen and little experience, the team surprised everyone by winning its first game of the dis- trict. Larry Freeman, David Hooten, Buddy Coffman, Ted Hern, Edwin Moody, Charlie Gray, Mike Bartlett, Donnie Row- lands, Roger Lawrence, and Terry Epperson. The junior boys finished the season with a respectable 13-9 record. The highlights were winning the county championship and placing second in the regional tournament, losing by only five points.

Melita Cagle, Karen Burch, Sue Gregory, Linda Hays, Tina Harvell, Barbara Allison, Joyce Coffman, Kathy Swaim, Frances Riley, Peggy Gregory, and Brenda Bull The junior girls had the best record of any Hector team winning 14 games, while losing only 4. They also won the county championship and were runners-up in the regional tournament. All four of our teams won their first game in the regional tournament for the second consecutive year. The school won-lost record was 48 - 41. 6 1966-67 SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS Richard Spence and Clifton Beavers were our track repre- sentatives at the state meet at Harding College in Searcy. To qualify for the state track meet, a boy must place first or second in an event. Richard received the trophy for the athlete scoring the most individual points in the district meet. Linda Payton, Julia Morris, Buddy Coffman, Brenda Bull, Edwin Moody, and Karen Burch were selected as all- district players from their respective teams. Each year ten top players in the district tournament are chosen for this honor. It is one of the highest honors that a person can receive in sports. Julia Morris and Linda Payton were chosen as two of the ten girls for the all- conference team. The senior girls volleyball team, Linda Payton, Julia Morris, Debbie Thompson, Marlene Coffman, Sandra Bull, Carolyn Bone, Mary Ringer, Janis Murdoch, Janie Row- lands, and Coach Kitchens, finished the regular season undefeated. They were runners-up in the Tech Tourna- ment, losing the final game to Class A Paris by a score, of 15-13. The senior 880-yard relay team, which consisted of Clifton Beavers, Ray Watson, Bill Freeman, and Richard Spence, dashed to a respectable fourth place finish in the District 4B track meet at Waldron. The junior high 440 yard relay team consisting of Jerry Freeman, Bobby Standrige, Ted Hern, and Lynn Millsaps are shown here with their ribbons won by finishing fourth in the District 4B track meet at Waldron. 1966-67 SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS The junior relay team composed of Darrel Rackley, Bobby Standrige, Ted Hem, and Edwin Moody finished third in both the 880-yard relay and mile relay at the Junior High District 4B track meet at Waldron. Coach Kitchens was presented with a Wildcat blazer in March of 1967 by the four basketball teams. Those chosen to represent their team at the presentation were Charles Gray, Brenda Bull, Marlene Coffman, and Jeny Dean. Note: we were trying to economize by putting two pictures in one. Our new gym was dedicated by Reverend W.D. Hooten on February 17, 1967. It was dedicated with the wish that the gym be used for good sportsmanship. 1966-67 P. T.A. ACTIVITIES During the month of April, the oncoming P.T.A. officers were elected for the 1967-68 year. They are: Mrs. A.C. Utley, president: Mrs. Paul Allison, vice-president: Miss Charity Goates, secretary: Mrs. Carrol Huffman, treasurer: Mrs. A1 Carruth, parliamentarian: Mrs. John Garrigus, historian. An important highlight of the year was the presentation of a life membership pin and certificate to Mr. Joe Bull who was honored for his outstanding school and com- munity work during the past ten years. Miss Charity Goates, fifth grade teacher, gave a brief summary of his accomplishments. Tom Thompson, president of the 1967 senior class, made the presentation at the February meeting. As a fund raising activity during the year, the P.T.A. sponsored a spaghetti supper. To help add to die atmos- phere these “Italian waiters and waitresses were used: Judy Davis, Judy Baker, Sammy Niemann, Lenora Fountain, Clifton Beavers, Sandra Bull, and Brenda Bull, not pictured. With the proceeds obtained from the spaghetti supper, the P.T.A. purchased lockers for the gym. Meda Ringer, Linda Halsted and Paula Coffman are shown using the lockers. The students greatly appreciate the help and interest of the P.T.A. 9 The junior class chose a Hawaiian theme for the 1966- 67 Junior-Senior Banquet. The entertainment consisted of beautiful dancing hula '•girls.'' One of themost exotic ones, Clifton Beavers, is pictured above. 1967 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The juniors presented a lei to everyone that attended. Mr. Bull, our guest speaker, commented on the Wind and the Hurricane.” Obviously, the Hawaiian menu that the juniors chose went over well with everyone. The pineapple decoration seemed to suit the taste of the senior girls. The juniors chose the following sophomores to serve as waitresses: Brenda Coffman, Judy Baker, Ferlene Mans- field, Debbie Thompson, and Janis Murdoch. 10 1966-67 AWARDS Mrs. Glenna Boland, Home Economics Teacher, awards Lenora Fountain with the Betty Crocker Homemakers Award.

Mr. John Bell was the instructor. (Mrs. Swaim is hiding in the background.) 1967-68 TERM BEGINS Mr. Swaim helps Charlene Miller and Kathy McNutt with their schedules. The seniors often have problems in making their schedules in order to have the proper credits for graduation. The first of school always results in a mad rush to the of- fice. There are always books and pencils to buy, dues to pay, and some to see Mr. Bull. Subscriptions for the 1968 annual reached an all-time high this year. The Subscription Manager, Debbie Thompson, and her helpers, Janis Murdoch and Karen Burch, worked very hard to reach our goal of 200 sub- scriptions. 16 PICTURES - ELECTIONS Who is posing? Mr. Ronnie Wensel is the school photogra- pher. Pictures were taken near the beginning of the school year. Note the trophies for background. Candidates for Campus King and Queen were Clifton Beavers, Mary Ringer, seniors; Bucky Snider, Kathy Allison, juniors; Larry Freeman, Karen Burch, sophomores. The election was handled in the good old American way of secret ballot with majority rule. Janis Murdoch and Debbie Thompson are shown here handing out ballots and collecting votes. Note of interest, Clifton Beavers and Mary Ringer won the election. This year our student body gained a voice in school govern- ment. A student council was formed. There were two rep- resentatives elected from each class, 7th-12th. We had a campaign and school election for president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer. Students are looking at campaign posters, the most obvious in this picture is the one empha- sizing the cry of Go all the way with L.B.J. Student Council Election Day—Students are busy at the polls” checking the name of the candidates of their choice. Brenda Darter was elected president and Frances Riley secretary-treasurer at the first balloting. There was a run-off for vice president between Kathy Swaim and Johnny Burris with Johnny winning. 17 HIGHLIGHTS OF NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER In observance of Veterans’ Day, we had an assembly presented by the Arkansas Tech KOTC. Major Wilson explained why our country is in Vietnam and the im- portance of our freedom. His talk was mainly for high school students. The younger children were impatient- ly waiting for the drill team's performance. The ROTC Drill Team presented a fine show, demonstrat- ing their various marching maneuvers. However, the crowd did catch a few unfortunate mishaps. Our new gymnasium was filled to capacity for Home- coming on November 17. This year’s Royalty proved to be a handsome bunch.” The student council did a good job preparing the background for the occasion. The eleventh grade play, It’s Cold in Them Thar Hills,” was one of the most interesting highlights of this year. The reaction of the student body proved that it was quite humorous, especially the improvising. highlights of DECEMBER AND JANUARY The Student Council presented the 1967 Christmas program. Ron Sumter and Gwen Pruitt were Santa Claus and Merry Christmas. The exchange of gifts and refreshments ended a very exciting day. The Junior boys kneel over their well-earned trophy after “licking” two Class A schools and Dover for the Tri-County championship. First, Clarksville posed a problem, but we came out on top, 39 to 37. Then Dover seemed to have everything it took to down the young Wildcats, but we took another victory. 47 to 44. The Lamar Warriors wanted to scalp Hector, but never got close enough, since the Wildcats won 55 to 35. Moody led in rebounds and points for the team. Two days each week, three traveling teachers” come to the American History Class and teach humanities. They teach art. drama and music that was popular during the period of history being studied by the class at that time. Coach Kitchens and senior boys Coach Kitchens and the senior girls COUNTY TOURNAMENT The seventh grade boys coached by Mr. Pinnell. Hector High was proudly represented in the 1967- 68 County Tournament with five teams in competition. The Wildcats had one championship team, the senior girls. The girls came up with a smashing win of 48-33, over Dover in the finals, claiming the county honors in their division. The Wildcats Senior Boys’ team made an outstanding showing against Dover, having a near victory of 67-71. Hector’s team of tomorrow, the seventh grade boys, made a great effort but lost 31-24 in the finals. The junior girls played Dover the first game, taking a 41-54 loss from the Pirates. The Wildcat Junior Boys placed as county runner-up in their division. The junior boys won by the margin of 45-20 over Pottsville in the first game. In the finals, the junior boys came out with a 33-44 effort against Dover. We want to congratulate all of the teams for their accomplishments and outstanding efforts during the county tournament.

Class is interrupted for a business meeting to decide the where and when of the senior class trip. The senior girls attempt, in vain, to look even more beautiful and feminine to pose for the photographer. Although the girls are noted for their primping, the senior boys also did their share before having their pic- tures taken. Seniors select their choice of frames from many sizes and types that wete on display. They finally received the results of their hopes and fears. Some were well pleased and some obviously weren't. Carolyn Bone and David Williams were managers of the candy store. Much to everyone’s surprise, the store prospered all year. This was one of the seniors' m ain ways of making money. The girls decided it was their night off. and sentenced the boys to two hours of hard labor (doing dishes) after the Alumni Banquet. Things came to a close with wet boys and broken dishes. 33 SENIOR FA VORITES Patricia Huffman James Standridge SENIOR OFFICERS Ray Watson.

SPORTS SENIOR BOYS BASKETBALL Senior Clifton Beavers was the leading scorer and second in rebounding during the 1967-68 season. 68 Mike Bartlett, Darrel Rack ley, Ted Horn, Ray Watson, Johnny Burris, Buddy Coffman, Sammy Niemann, Clifton Beavers, David Hooten, Sam Coffman, Mike Biffle, and Coach Kitchens. It is often difficult to say in writing the excellence of a team and their individual achievement. We find ourselves in this position because the 1967-68 Hector Wildcat Senior Boys have certainly made themselves respected as a young threat- ening team. Many hard and long practice sessions plus the individual efforts of each player made it possible for the team to achieve the highest quality of a much needed year's experience. The Wildcats were in a rebuilding phase of the basketball program and as the year progressed, the team improved each game in the various phases of the sport of basketball. As is expected of a young team, they profited by their mistakes and made this year's season one to be proud of by all standards. GO, WILDCATS, GO! The Wildcats have credited themselves with 1132 re- bounds which is an important aspect that is sometimes forgotten by the non-participants. Leading the Wildcats in the rebound division were Buddy Coffman, Clifton Beavers, Johnny Burris, and Sammy Niemann. Mike Bartlett. Ray Watson, and Sam Coffman are to be congratulated for their individual performances dur- ing the season. Needless to say, the Wildcats are looking forward to the 1968-69 season with an abundance of anxiety and individually developed talents. Congratulations are certainly in order to these boys and their ensuing victories. Hector’s leading rebounder, sophomore ftiddy grabs a rebound over Dover.

Debbie Thompson, Kathy Swaim, Carolyn Bone, Janis Murdoch, Linda Payton. Julia Morris. Janie Rowlands. Mary Ringer. Brenda Darter, and Coach Kitchens Can it be that such an array of beauty could possess so much athletic talents as well as academic achieve- ments? Well, these things can certainly be said of the 1967-68 Hector Wildcat Senior Girls' Basketball Team. Their team was one of the most respected in the conference this year. With as much developed talent and strong reservists, it was no surprise that they were rated highly by their opponents. The superb performances of this year’s team, each girl a star in her own excellence of skills and abilities, made it impossible to have an outstanding player. This ingredient was the reason for the great success and desire needed of a championship team. 70 Mary, it seems your arm is a little short. GO! FIGHT! WIN! Enthusiasm and strong determination reigned as high during each practice session as it did during the games for the senior girls. Leading the rebounding for the girls were Janis Murdoch, Linda Payton. Mary Ringer, and Carolyn Bone. Leading the scoring tables were Julia Morris. Janie Rowlands, and Frances Riley. This has truly been a great year with the senior girls' team turning in numerous outstanding performances. All the girls are to be congratulated, for it was a team effort that made this season a successful one. Julia Morris, leading scorer for the senior girls, pops in another free throw.

This year’s junior boys’ team had a rebuilding problem to face, and how they faced it! They had one of the best records that a Hector Junior Boys' team has ever had, winning 16 games while dropping only 4. As you can see by the schedule, they stepped out of their own classification! several times to hand embarrassing deteats to larger Class A schools. To the returning members, we can only say that we hope their success in the future will be as good as it has been this year.

Who would have ever thought that with the graduation of seven mem- bers of the 1967 junior girls’ team, five of them starters, this year's team would be an impressive one? At the beginning of the year, the junior girls and the coach knew it and that was all that mattered to them. Following a team who was runner-up in the district is never easy, but this year's girls did it in fine style with a record of 9-6.

They have new cheerleaders, new uniforms, and new yells. To them falls the difficult task of making Hector’s school spirit grow. As cheerleaders, these girls represent Hec- tor in a fine way wherever they go. The Senior Cheerleaders are pushing the Wildcat Teams on to victory. 74 JUNIOR CHEER LEADERS Paula Thompson Lucia Felkins - Gail Wilson Debbie Hays Rhonda ftill - Becky Bartlett - Glenda Darter - Becky Carr The Junior Cheerleaders FLIP over another Hector victory.

Managers--Daveline, Mike, and Floy Mae. Catch it. don't eat it! Sometimes a picture of success omits some important people who work diligently without being recognized. Much of the credit for the overall success of our four basketball teams is due to the unrelentless duties performed by our student managers, score and chan keepers, plus our clock operator. Hats off to these poeple for whose services we are very grateful. What goes up must come down! I Hector Junior Girls show great sportsmanship after winning over their arch rival, Dover.
